Barack Obama: “Higher education isn't a luxury anymore; it's an economic necessity.”

I hope this center will serve as an affirmation of just how special, how precious our democracy truly is.

While we are non-partisan, we are not value-neutral. We have a point of view.

At least one of our major parties has been captured by politics that is not that subtle about suggesting that ‘We the people’ means a certain kind of people.

We designed the center not to be some lifeless mausoleum.
